IMPORTANT WARNING: Hydroxyurea can cause a severe decrease in the number of blood cells in your bone marrow. This may cause certain symptoms and may increase the risk that you will develop a serious infection or bleeding.
Stage IV colon cancer commonly spreads to the liver or the lungs. Some patients who have cancer that has spread to a single area are candidates for surgery to remove the metastases. Treatment of the liver: When itâs possible to completely surgically remove all liver metastases, surgery is the preferred treatment.
Your Treatment Options. Treatment for liver cancer depends on the stage, type, and grade of your tumor; status of underlying liver diseases; whether it has invaded other tissues; and your age, health history, and personal goals.
